Chasing His Kickass Luna Back

I can feel the knot in my chest loosening, the heavy weight of the day’s events

lifting ever so slightly. “You guys are amazing.”

Then, my eyes meet Karl’s. He’s carrying a loaf of what smells like very fresh

bread and a wheel of cheese stolen from the pantry at the restaurant, and

there’s a soft, apologetic look in his eyes. We stare at each other for a few

moments, and my heart does a fl*p. I can feel the heat rising into my cheeks and

I have to quickly look away before he notices.

Suddenly, Chloe’s voice breaks through my reverie.

“Let’s get this party started!” she says, turning up the music.

Enter title…

Soon, we’re all a little tipsy, swaying to the beat of a Spotify playlist that Daisy

insisted was the “Ultimate Cleaning Mix.” I find myself moving my hips while

scrubbing the walls, and I look over to see John and Ethan attempting the

moonwalk with mops.

“We’re setting a new standard for house parties!” Ethan shouts over the music,

and we all burst into laughter.

Despite everything that happened, my chest feels a little lighter. I couldn’t have

asked for better friends.

I sl*p into the pantry to grab more trash bags, momentarily stepping out of the

haze of laughter and chatter. It’s quiet in here, the stillness giving space for the

reality of the situation to creep back in. Who could’ve done this to me? I shudder

at the thought.

Just then, Karl steps in. “Hey, you okay?” he asks, his eyes searching mine.

“I’m fine,” I reply, although my voice is a bit wobbly. “Just a little shaken, you

know? Wondering who could’ve set fire to my apartment.”

Karl suddenly takes my hand. My heart pounds in my chest and I slowly lift my

gaze to meet his. His cheeks are flushed, probably from the booze, but his voice

is low and a little husky. “Abby, we’ll find whoever did this to you. I promise.”

I chuckle. “Thanks, Karl. But the police have it under control.”

“Still,” he says quietly, drawing just a little closer. “Whatever you need, I’m here.

“Karl…”

Before I know it, Karl’s l*ps are on mine, and for a second, the world stops. My

heart does a somersault, caught off guard. In the back of my mind, I can feel it:

my wolf, slowly coming out of her slumber. She’s drawing me closer to him, and

for just a moment, I allow her to.

Without entirely meaning to, I find my hand lifting, my fingers tangling into Karl’s

hair. The music and the chatter in the other room fades into the background,

and suddenly it’s just us, just me and Karl.

When we pull apart, there’s a heavy pause, both of us staring at each other with

wide eyes, unsure of what just happened.

“Abby,” he murmurs, “I—”

“Um, thanks for helping tonight,” I finally say, gently disengaging from the

awkward moment.

“Abby—”

“I… I can’t, Karl,” I murmur. “Let’s not do this right now.”
